Where do some of you get the MINI drawings for your signatures?

It's all who you know. 
I don't actually know where everyone is getting theirs, but I drew my own from a photo I took of my car, using an illustration program, deservingly called Illustrator, from the company Adobe. It is one of the most popular computer illustration programs in the world, and is part of any graphic designer's repetoire. (I am a graphic designer when I'm not out motoring). I also use Adobe Photoshop on a daily basis, which is very helpful as well.
I've seen instances where fellow designers/NAM members offer their services to create customized signatures, but I don't have any specific names for you. Sometimes they're free, sometimes they charge a nominal fee...
Like I said, when it came time for me to get a signature, I just made my own with some photography and an illustrated version of my MINI. The base car was drawn in Illustrator, but then I touched things up, and added the headlamp beams and glares in Photoshop, along with the background picture of my side marker lamp.
Anyway, to help you out, keep your eyes open on NAM, and do some searches for people who make signatures. If you have absolutely NO luck whatsoever, let me know, maybe I can give you a hand...

Someone (He requested to be named "Anonymous") made mine for me. Funny thing is I didn't even request it, but I sure like it! 
If he reads this thread and PM's me saying I can PM you guys, or something of that nature, I will deffinitly let you guys know. But I also have to respect his privacy. It was a very nice gesture, and I am VERY thankful of it. I love mine!
